STi with S/C and Turbo. (no 56k)
Not sure what forum to put this in so I will post it here. I was at the Pavillions this evening and Forced Air Technologies was there with their project STi. It has an AMG S/C and a Garrett turbo. The intercooler isn't on yet so the S/C is running 8 lbs of boost and the turbo is at 12. Look at the clutch assembly on the S/C. I won't be going to the extreme with STi like I did with the S. I still think my S would kill the STi from a 30 roll (comptech & A/C with smaller pulley and front mount radiator), but from a dig, my S wouldn't stand a chance. Here are a few pics of this beast.

The owner said he hasn't ran it yet since the intercooler hasn't been installed. He was saying that it should be done this coming week. The best thing about it is that Forced Air Technologies is local for me.

Looks like a big mess. Not sure why anyone would do this to any car since it makes no sense. I guess he is looking for fast no lag jump a supercharger has with high end boost of a turbo? Well wouldn't a nitrous system accomplish the same without parasitic drag of the supercharger?

No 56k? The two pics you posted totalled less than 160kb
Anyway, Ive heard a story about a setup like this on an MR2 a while back, nice to see how they went about it thanks for the pics
